August 14 to August 18, 2017 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

You probably saw this on CNN already (plus the three-day-long Twitter trending topic), but here it is anyway: we added a new library label variable that lets you include the first three letters of the author's last name.

Added a bunch of API functions that let you get more course attendance data with fewer calls.

Enhanced the Degree Anticipated Completion filter in the Data Slicer with a condition for Degree Status.

Bugfixes

When you imported courses from a previous term, we very helpfully listed them all as "Section 2". We knocked it off, though.

Sternly warned Bookstore to stop putting shipping charges on the default Bookstore ledger account when a separate account has been designated for shipping charges in Bookstore > Settings.

If courses were set to Not Published, TA's couldn't view files on the Course > Info view. Nor could non-course Faculty before the course start date. Both issues have been summarily dealt with.
